Giuseppe Zangara Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 Pick any artist. List all their albums in preferential order.

Corey_Lazarus Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 I like this concept. Shadows Fall 1. The War Within Say what you will, but the flow between songs is the best they've ever done as just when you think there's a lowpoint the next song burts into your head. It closes with "Those Who Cannot Speak," which feels like it should be a few minutes longer (that epic feel, you know), and a lot of the songs most people know by them are on this one. "What Drives The Weak," "Inspiration on Demand," "Enlightened by the Cold," "The Power of I and I" (which has one of my favorite drum rolls in metal history)...all here. 2. Of One Blood Their major label debut back in 2000. The first album with Brian on vocals, and though his singing isn't as good as Phil's, it fits the music better in an odd way. The first half of the album is just BAM-BAM-BAM: heavy, fast, melodic, and catchy. The first three songs are anthems through-and-through, whereas the latter half of the album slumps. "To Ashes" and "Serenity" make the last three tracks worthwhile (in all honesty, I don't even remember what track 9 is, since those two are tracks 8 and 10 respectively), so definitely a good debut for the local heroes. 3. Somber Eyes to the Sky Perhaps their most METAL album. Almost all of the songs on this one sound as though In Flame or another Gothenburg band were recording them, and the poor production doesn't hide any of Jon or Matt's talent. The instrumental, "Lead Me Home," is one I used to have people listen to when they thought that Shadows Fall was just another one of those "scream into the mic and play fast" metal bands. It's just beautiful music through-and-through. The original version of "To Ashes" is on here, and though I feel the Of One Blood version is better, this one's still worth listening to. "Somber Angel" and "Suffer The Season" are good, solid metal tracks, and "Pure" is just such a good song that it's almost impossible to not love it. "Revel in My Loss," another song that was redone for Of One Blood, sounds better on this disc than on the major label debut, and that's because Phil's voice fit the flow of the music better than Brian's did. 4. The Art of Balance Doesn't hold up well at all after repeated listens. "Idle Hands" is basically just a generic metalcore version of Metallica's "Battery," and though "Thoughts Without Words" was overplayed on metal shows all the time it's still a damn decent track. I dig the title track and "A Fire in Babylon," as well as the two instrumentals, "Casting Shade" and "Prelude to Disaster," and "Stepping Outside the Circle" is a goodie. The whole album just seems a little overproduced and simple, though, which was the complete opposite of what Somber and Of One Blood were.

Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 99. Shitty albums by Method Man how do we feel about Tical. Tical is actually a perfectly fine album. I just don't like it--or Method Man--as much as any other Wu-Tang guy's work, really, so I kinda disregard him. I haven't listened to it in forever. What is it that I don't like about AGIB? I can't tell what it is, but I just don't enjoy it as much as the others. Is it the soloing? I usually like solos. Weird. It's not as catchy. Not as thoroughly interesting as its predecessor. Jay Bennett might be a bit of a headcase, but I missed him on this. However, I will say that A Ghost is Born sounds great live. I was way impressed with "Spiders (Kidsmoke)" and "Hummingbird" in particular; the latter became one of my favorite Wilco songs after I saw them. "Theologians" also gets a lot more bounce and sounds like it could have snuck onto Being There quite nicely.
